Article 8(3) of the Convention. Compensatory rest. The Committee takes note of the information communicated by the Government in its report regarding the ongoing process of the administrative restructuring following the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010. The Committee understands that the Government pursues its efforts for legislative reform and adopted in January 2012, 13 national ordinances amending the Civil Code. The Committee recalls its previous comments about the need to amend the relevant provisions of the labour legislation with a view to granting a compensatory rest period of a total duration of at least 24 hours, irrespective of any financial compensation, in cases where permanent or temporary exemptions are made to the normal weekly rest scheme. The Committee therefore requests the Government to clarify the current status of the legislation concerning the workers’ entitlement to weekly rest and to provide additional information on the new Civil Code insofar as it may impact on these matters.
